This was my second visit to Mohonk (first time was a short work retreat), and my wife’s first. Even though we don’t live close, we will visit again as soon as we can! The very worst thing I have to say is that I wish there was in-room coffee. Having to walk aLl ThE wAy down to the lake parlor (like seriously- they want you to drink your first cup of coffee on the porch looking out at the peaceful lake, taking in the sounds of nature waking up?!?) for my first caffeine fix of the day got a little old…but on the other hand I guess it got me hungry for the wonderful breakfast we’d have a little later each morning. On the topic of food - all excellent. Only gripe was some inconsistent service. But more often than not that was excellent as well. Special shout out to Mercy who was terrific in the main dining room. The staff is unfailingly polite. House keepers, maintenance workers, bellhops ALL go out of their way to make your day better. The house was immaculately clean, always. Our room was comfortable and COLD…which was terrific considering how hot it was outside. If you’re unable to occupy yourself on the grounds, you’re simply not trying. Nothing disappointed…lake, gardens, trails, etc. We didn’t use the indoor pool but both took advantage of the relaxing (if pricey) spa. Worth it. We loved most of the nightly entertainment. Bravo to management for their commitment to the arts. Trout Fishing in America and Big Valley Bluegrass (dockside on a gorgeous night) were our favorites. Be sure to take the house tour and sign up early for space-limited activities! And don’t miss the barn museum. Holy smokes - the history and stories in the building! We found a new couch or comfy chair to read and doze on every day. Helping you to be disconnected is probably Mohonk’s best magic trick.

Hotel's Favorite
I was hesitant to embark on this three night trip to Mohonk Mountain House arranged by my girlfriend. I was very pleasantly surprised. Let’s start with the food. All reservations include three meals per day. There are several options for each meal. It’s too much food, but it is delicious. For breakfast, you can dine in the Main dining room and have your choice of many delectable options. I had a lobster omelette, eggs Benedict, and a vegetarian omelette. All three were outstanding. They also were able to prepare my Bulletproof coffee, which is part of my keto diet. You can also eat in the Lake Lounge where there is a complete buffet including scrambled eggs. Having had a complete breakfast each day, lunch was unnecessary, but it was included. Again you can eat in the Main dining room where there are a variety of tasty options from which to choose. Lunch includes a starter, an entrée and dessert. I particularly enjoyed the gazpacho and lobster salad. Everything I ordered was great. The desserts especially are wonderful at Mohonk Mountain House. Or you can go to the Granary, which is an outdoor buffet-style area with picnic tables. There you can order hotdogs, hamburgers, mushroom burgers, vegetarian burgers or a pulled meat barbecue sandwich. There are a variety of salads and fruit options. For dessert you have your choice of cakes, cookies, brownies or ice cream. I could have eaten there every day. We had dinner at three different venues. The main dining room is almost gourmet standard fare. The starters, entrées and desserts were all excellent. Another night we ate at the Pavilion, which was the potential bad weather option for the Granary. Again, it’s buffet style with your choice of different cookout options. There were also crabcakes, mussels, salmon, cold salads, vegetables, and a carving station. Desserts are similar to the lunch options of cakes, pies and ice cream. My only complaint was that we went on the late side and some of the food in the chafing dishes was cold and we were rushed to leave. If you go to the Granary for dinner, go early. Our final dining destination was the West dining room, which is a much smaller room than the Main dining room and, I believe, serves a slightly different menu. Nevertheless, my girlfriend’s pasta and my steak were excellent as were the desserts. Dining at Mohonk Mountain House is a treat. Be prepared to put on some pounds. There are plenty of things to do at Mohonk Mountain House. There is a relatively new spa with indoor pool, swimming and boating at the Lake, which is directly next to the hotel. There are tennis courts, a basketball court, volley ball, discus golf, and a playground. At the bottom of the mountain, Mohonk has a nine hole golf course. It is short, but very challenging with narrow fairways, blind shots, major elevation changes and some severely sloped greens. Our room was spacious enough with a balcony and rocking chairs overlooking the rear side putting green and a view of the lake. Tipping is included in your room rate and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will compare it to the training received by Ritz Carlton employees. Despite the relatively expensive accommodations, There were plenty of families with children there. They claim they have been sold out since January 1., which is a great thing since it means they can retain their employees throughout the year. I give Mohonk House a big thumbs up.

Very pricey, even with all inclusions. The property is gorgeous but limited amenities. No TVs in the rooms but apparently you can rent them. Not here to watch television but it was surprising at nearly $2k per night. Climate control in the rooms are barely adequate but again, we’re here for the activities. Dining was the biggest surprise. We had 8 people in our group. Obviously alcoholic beverages are not included, but are very expensive, mediocre and very very slow. Average cocktails start at 22 bucks each and they’re underwhelming. We dined in the main dining room the first night. 45 minutes before we had our first course served, which arrived before our drinks, after having to inquire twice. Salad was not fresh, was bland and inedible. Half of the first courses were cold. Entrees were not 5-star, but pretty good. Our table was slowly bused over the next hour until we had to again ask about the dessert course. Another 30 minutes went by before we were served half-melted ice creams and sorbets. The Mohonk crumble cake was amazing, but the rest were a bummer. It was such a let-down because we wanted to love our meal but the service was so bad, we just couldn’t. Don’t know if it is because of the meal “included” or just pretentious staff who are clueless on guest satisfaction. So many hosts and wait staff around us but all focused on doing other things. For us, it was unpleasant, frustrating and a huge waste of time. Mohonk Mountain House: superb at marketing, clueless on execution.

Beautiful and historic location, but not worth the per night cost. Understand that it costs a lot to upkeep the property but felt overcharged for the room and alcohol. Might seem reasonable if you are coming in from NYC, but otherwise you may feel you overpaid.

Living in the NYC area for 10 years, my husband and I had heard about Mohonk and were excited to go for a spring weekend. We love to hike and explore in this part of the state and generally go for upscale hotels with character. Sadly we were disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it. We appreciated the history and charm of the hotel/property, but found it to be pretty dated and past its prime — especially for what they’re charging. The food was pretty good (other than the standard breakfast - skip that and get brunch). The main level layout has a lot of very small sitting rooms, which makes sense for a property from this time, but we thought it was odd that there’s just one very small and dark bar hidden down a long hallway. We planned to grab a drink on a rainy afternoon but it wasn’t a nice atmosphere. The spa was nice (I had a facial) but again, very expensive for what you get. The service was great though and they accommodated moving our room when we were given an adjoining room next to screaming children :) We also really enjoyed a few activities, especially the archery class. To me Mohonk is best for families / extended families who want to be able to roam the property and do different activities, then meet up for meals. I wouldn’t recommend it for couples.

Great time! Loved walking among the flower arrangements. Gorgeous arrangements! Spent time in the pool. Time at the beach. Took walks by the lake. Beautiful views. I want to give a shout out to the ladies in the gift shop. Wish I had gotten their names. It was around 10:30. Monday July 24. The chocolate milkshake they make was the best one I have ever had. We were checking out I didn't get a chance to thank them. I have one suggestion for the dining menu. They have Gluten Free notes on certain entrees. Should also have a note when an entree is spicy. I ordered the Bolognese pasta and couldn't eat it. Neither could the couple who ordered it at the other table. Very spicy. Packed it up for my son who liked it but said it was very spicy. We've been visiting Mohonk for years. When they were open during Covid and before. The food is usually good but we don't go for the food even though the chocolate milkshake was amazing. It's a peaceful, stress free place to take a deep breath and relax.

Liked our trip very much. Staff was helpful and friendly. Room was lovely. Yes it smelled mildly like smoke, because there is a wood burning fireplace in the room, which we did not use since it was July and we were using the AC; which by the way cooled the room just fine but the wall thermostat was really quirky and didn't quite work right, it had a hard time responding to our touch. Nice balcony with 2 rockers we really enjoyed and we watched some rain and thunder move in. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Nice towels and toiletries but one robe had a hole in it. Housekeeping seemed to have a supervisor who knocked on the doors prior to entry, which I liked. They did an ok job but did not remake the bed (we sort of did) and there was no turndown service which we saw advertised. The food was generally delicious and plentiful but there were some hiccups, and wow do they overcharge for drinks. $18 basic cocktails and a small glass of diet coke was $5.50. Gluten free options were available but it was typically standard items like a salad or grilled this or that not anything particularly special. GF bread at dinner was just toasted slices of a basic white bread, not even a roll, after they put that otherwise great looking bread basket in front of you. Some plant based desserts but I saw nothing both gluten and dairy free, more just fruit than actual desserts. The breakfast at the Lakeside Lodge was honestly not great. Was just like a free hotel breakfast with something that resembled scrambled eggs and some over seasoned potatoes. A sign said "ask about gluten free options" by the pastries, and when I did I was told it's just slices of GF white bread again, so... meh. We needed an early breakfast so we were stuck here at 7 am, but I suggest the main dining room for all meals although the lobster at the Granary was great. They do serve tea and cookies but if you want a snack you are going to pay for it. The gift shop had some snacks and a soda fountain. Water refill stations in the hallway were great but ours dispensed room temp water, not sure if they all do or if something was wrong with ours. Lots to do here. The museum was closed when I took the trek down to it, not sure why since the schedule for the day said it was supposed to be open. The gardens were gorgeous and we enjoyed walking around, also did some mild hiking walking all the way around the resort lake. We did not go to the top because the weather wasn't great. It was overcast without much of a view and then got cloudy. I suggest a room that faces the lake since on the overcast day we were there we had no view of the mountain. The pool was also nice and not crowded at all, but I wish there was an outdoor pool, it's not fun to be indoors in the summer. All in all a very pleasant stay and we may or may not go again strictly due to cost vs. value.

Mohonk is a must-see! 5-Star experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we departed. Don't read the negative reviews, there are a lot of trolls out there. Food and dining in general was exceptional, 5-Star! So many great activities, and such a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Rooms in the Main House were so comfortable. We loved every moment of our time at Mohonk and hope to make it an annual getaway. Highly recommend for multi-generational families!
